As the title implies, I really am sick of it. "Yeah, but you shot me whilst I was reloading", then RELOAD MANUALLY BEFORE YOU ENTER COMBAT YOU FOOL! The other classic is of course, "But I had the rocket launcher!" Exactly, that is why I killed you.
I get really bored of it, I really do. It's the most fantastic multiplayer game ever, (especially when you are playing against people that accept that the point is to kill the other players by any means necessary), but I get really annoyed by the people that can't accept it.
I rejected an off er from someone today to go and play Halo 2 with them at the weekend as I know I will just get annoyed by it. I am perfectly happy to play my way through the single player.
Whilst I'm here I might as well talk about people that bulls**t about how good they are at the game. A guy at school said he completed the game on easy in 6 hours. This may well be possible, and I'm sure that there are people on here that have done it, but this guy didn't even own the original. So what did we do? Me and a friend took it in turns to play him one-on-one at Slayer, and he managed just 2 kills both times, hohoho.
On the same note, people that say things like "I've done it on Heroic on so-and-so's console" when they don't even own it, are also blatently talking faeces, and should therefore be shot. With a Sniper Rifle, probably.
Finally, there are the people who are scared of changing Slayer so that the scoring is 'kills - deaths', as they know they just run around like fools, and have an average life of about 36 seconds, when some of us have an average life of 7 minutes 54 seconds (which I point out to them on many occasions). Surely the way to determine the best player is to turn this scoring system on? Imagine them in real life, walking into a large clearing and being killed. Not going to kill nayone else now, are we?
Bah! Rant fin.

Yeah, because "having a longer average life in a game makes you healthier in real life."

This one must be ignored at all costs.

Whatever the excuse, they'll regret it when you 'accidently' kill them on Halo-2 or C;LAR.
I don't have much against people that snipe constantly - you've got to play to your strengths.

I'm not a camper, but at times it needs to be done.
Annoying but effective, and if its someone idea of fun, let them do it.
As for matches. It seems mostly to be the americans that slug you off if they lose, win or draw. It's a great game to have fun on. It pizzes me off when people take it too seriously, you know?

1 on 1 matches p*ss me off the most, especially when they get the sniper rifle/rocket/sword combination (pick any 2, usually the sniper rifle/beam rifle), sit in one place and slaughter you. I say to the 'put down the uber guns and fight with skill, not practise'. I'd lose anyway, but it gets to them ;).
